Rockwell Automation acquires Maverick Technologies

Rockwell Automation has acquired systems integrator Maverick Technologies to expand domain knowledge and help deliver control and information solutions to customers in industries such as chemical, food and beverage, and oil and gas.

The acquisition is intended to strengthen Rockwell Automation’s expertise in key process and batch applications to help its customers realize greater productivity and improved global competitiveness through contemporary process control and information management solutions.

The acquisition supports the Rockwell Automation strategy to help customers adopt The Connected Enterprise — a vision that connects information across the plant floor with the entire enterprise to drive new business value. According to Rockwell, this is particularly important to process customers whose uptime and continuous performance are critical.

Maverick is located in Columbia, Ill., with 21 locations in the U.S. and more than 300 engineers and technical salespeople. In July 2016, it was recognized by The Silicon Review magazine as one of the “2016 50 Best Companies to Watch.”
